    Sir Roger Penrose - Nobel Prize Winner Physics 2020 - for the discovery that black hole formation is a robust prediction of the general theory of relativity.

    Roger Penrose is one of the world’s most prominent theoretical physicists who in 1965 produced the mathematics that showed how stars collapse to form black holes. With Stephen Hawking, he showed that if Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity is correct, then there would be a singularity, a point of infinite density and space-time curvature, where time has a beginning. Penrose shared the Wolf Prize for physics with Stephen Hawking for this work on the Penrose-Hawking singularity theorems.

    Penrose is also known as the founding father of quantum gravity through his work on twistor theory, which addresses the geometry of space-time. He is an emeritus professor of mathematics at the University of Oxford, and the author of several books about the nature of space, time and reality.

    Now, at the age of 91....

    Still we are assuming that alpha constant is actually constant. (or that it is only bound by the energy scales when diverting from it) Each and every theory can be boiled down to that. I think it's too cute of a theory. Of course it'll take a long time to disprove it, but let's wait and see. I have a hunch that alpha constant is not what it's posited to be. Perhaps remember I predicted this here for posterity. 😊

    This post is not about the Fine-Structure Constant or about the Big Bang... I just posted this because at the age of 91 he's still going strong. Wish him well.

    Yes seems theory of BigBang is not correct as the new photos of edge of universe reveals some early enormous galaxies
